New EntorprUes. Chattanooga, March 18.—Reports of industrial and business conditions in all parts of tho southern states fortheweek ending March 17 have been received by The Tradesman. General business is very active and prices are well main tained. Tho iron market shows no change. Furnace outputs continue to bo large, and but little iron accumulates in tho storage yards. The market for iron pipe, structural iron and hardware is more irregular and is growing pr<*tty active under Increasing demands. Coal and coke operators are doing a largo business. More coal has been mined than in any previous season, and sales have been widely extended into new territory. Unfavorable reports from tho north and northwest, to the effect that heavy losses have been sustained by floods, and that logging has boon inter rupted, have strengthened an already heavy demand for southern lumber. Prices are firm, the mills are running on full time, and prospects ahead are believed to be very encouraging. There is no change in the condition of tho southern textile industry. The mills are all in operation, and tfic addi tion of new mills and enlargements of existing ones causes an increase in the outputs each week. Cotton mill opera tors are hoping for higher prices, and complain that present conditions do not give them a reasonable profit. Reports of newly organized or incorporated cot ton mills for tho past wook include a 40,000 spindle mill at Oolnmbns, Oa.; a #250,000 addition to tho plant of tho Anderson mills, of Anderson, S. 0.; a $200,000 mill at Maysvillc, Ga.; a 20,000 spindle mill at Seneca, 9. O.; tho En terprise mills, capital $20,000, at Ches ter, S. O,; new mills at Warronton, Go., and Mount Pleasant, S. 0., and a knit ting mill at Maxeys, Ga. Among important new industries an nounced or organized during the week are tho Oak Lawn Sugar Refinery, capi tal $140,000, <rf New Orleans, La,; the Cape Fear Duff Stone company, capital $50,000, of Norfolk, Va., and a cotton oil mill, witli $50,000 capital, at Hons- , ,, , „ . ton, Tex, Tho Mallard Lumber oom- rc.;.

Tho Ex-I’ostniaxtcr General Convlctoil nf Importing; Allen Contract Lahnr. Philadelphia, March 18. — In the United States distriot court, before Judge Butler, ex-Postmaster General John Wanamakor was recently con victed of violating a federal law by im porting alien labor, and was fined $1,000. Tho Philadelphia newspapers Ignored the ease because, it is thought, they did not desire to hurt tRo feelings of such a heavy advertiser, Past General Master Workman Jauiot A. Wright of the Knights of Labor se cured a transcript of tho records of the trial. Which he read at a meeting of rep resentatives of various trade.suuions held at Ninth and Spring Garden streets. Resolutions denouncing Mr. Wanna- maker were passed. The board of directors of tho Knights of Labor oificially declared a boycott against Mr. Wanamakor. Tho officers of the Pennsylvania Trades longue wore asked by Jara! members of that organ ization to take similar action. Tho tireless efforts of Assistant United States District Attorney Harvey K. Newitf, who is active in Republican politics, wore instrumental In securing the trial and verdict. The Mouaitnook I’leaai-s Naval Oillcers. Washington, March 18. — Reports from the Mare island navy yard as to tho performance of the monitor Mon- aduock ou her recent trial trip there are most gratifying to naval officers.

The steam pressure was 115 pounds and with new grates it is expected that this will run up to 100, giving tho mon itor 13 knots’ speed. The Apih4es Ueen Signed.

After a His Friends Claim That tin: Ke.uK Is a Victory For tin: Free Silver Champion. Dloodsheti Narrowly Averted .lust He- fore the .Joint Session Convened—Stormy Scene In the House. Louisville, March 18.—A special to the Post from Frankfort says: It was evident even before the legislature met for the last time that there would be no legislation of consequence passed. The feeling between the Democratic ma jority in the senate and the Republican majority in tho house was so intense that all hope of agreeing upon anything was given up. A meeting of the senate majority in vestigating committee made it certain that there would be lively tiiii"s in that body and perhaps inflammatory speeches would he made. During the morning a personal en counter that would certainly have re sulted in tho death of one or both men, had it not been for the intervention of General P. Wat Hardin and others, oc curred just outside the Capitol hotel. About 9:30 o'clock Colonel E. II. Gaither, of the Second regiment state guard, was walking up to the hotel, when he met Jack Chinn. Colonel Gaither said: “How are you. Jack?” and was pass ing on, when Chinn replied: “D—n you, don’t you speak to mo.” and at the same time made a movement for his hip pocket. Before a weapon could be drawn Gon- ertil Hardin rusliod in between th" two men and succeeded in preventing a light. Not before Colonel Gaither, how ever, had said to Chinn: "I am ready for you at any time, sir; it don’t matter whether you speak to me or not.” Tho courage of the two men is too well known to need anything further said. Had tho light commenced it would have been one to tho death as each man is game. Stormy Scene In the Houkc. W. G. Dunlap, who was given Mr. Kaufman’s scat in the house by that body, arrived in the city from Lexing ton during tho morning. When asked if he would yate in the joint assembly, Mr. Dunlap srid: "No, I will not, I am here on other business.” The house hud another stormy login ning. Rev. Grider, the Republican member from Casey county, op •no l the house with prayer and sent up a most /eloquent appeal for peacoand harmony and the hope that the sc.- Fm would close without bloodshed. At tho close of the prayer Mr. Bar nett of Ohio county oli'erod a resolu tion indorsing the action of the gover nor in calling out the militia. Mr. Howard of Butler moved the pre vious question. In a moment ui most every Dcmosrat in the house was on his feet demanding t > bo heard. The speaker ruled that tin* previous question had been ordered and no --peaches were in order. This did not silence the Democrats, and at least a half d zen speakers were at it at the same time in the greatest Confusion, during which bayonet rule, carpetbaggers, soldiers, militia, anarchy, cowardice and such epithets wore thrown at life Republicans. The reso lution was adopted by a yea and nay vote of 51 to 45. Joint Aiscinbl;' Convenci. The joint session assembled as peace ably as on tho previous day. A feeling of better humor prevailed in the house, which was enjoyed by a ntimber of ladies who were allowed for the first time since last Friday to enter the gal leries. The doors were thrown wide open.and the same sight of blueeoats was witnessed in the corridors. While tho clerks called the roll of both houses tho Democrats failed to vote and the roll showed <id present. The ballot was then ordered for tho last vote in tho race for United States Senator. Neither tho Democrats nor the Republicans voted. On motion of Hon. Cy Z. Brown, the joint assembly eternally, forcibly, everlastingly and perpetually and for all time dissolved, never to meet again. When the motion was put, the long meter doxology was sung by the assem bly in a spirit of humor. The gavel fell for the last time in the joint session of the Kentucky general assembly at 12:17 p. m., without fleet ing a successor to Senator Blackburn. As soon as the joint assembly dis solved many of Senator Blackburn's friqnds made a rash for the senate cloak room anil began to shake the hand of the free silver champion. “Joe” told a story, and wound up by saying that he had just begun his flffht. Cause of the Decent Seismic Commotion. New York, March 18.—A dispatch to the Herald from Valparaiso says: Jt’rof. Obreeht, director of the astro nomical observatory at Santiago, states that the late Seismic commotion there was due to tho conjunction of the sun and the moon, the latter having reached the same circle of longitude in vertical ascension, and being between the sun and the earth, and the attraction of the latter on the moon caused strong vibra tions in the atmosphere. Tho panic here is subsiding. “Tho law ]-r tion shall t ii.- 1 years and tiier-' jo.ouo.oi; .• p gress.
